Worth knowing in Miami
Much of what moves through Miami goes on to Latin America and the Caribbean, by sea or air. Export forwarders in Doral and Medley consolidate goods into heavy boxes on pallets and need board that survives humid ocean containers. Perishables, flowers, fruit and seafood arrive by air and move through refrigerated warehouses, where cases must hold up when cold and wet.
Hialeah and Medley host garment, furniture and food importers that repack goods for regional retail. Many forwarders ship consolidated pallets to Caribbean islands weekly, and those buyers ask for sturdy cartons sized to fill a pallet tidily without overhang.
